Study aim
-
Determining the effect of Del-Nido's cardioplegia solution returning to the extracorporeal circulation circuit on changes in serum osmolarity and clinical outcomes in children undergoing surgery for congenital heart disorders
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, single-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 38 patients. The block randomization method will be used to generate a sequence of random numbers
-
Settings and conduct
-
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Criteria for inclusion in the study: all children with a weight of 5 to 18 kg undergoing heart surgery for congenital defects with RACHS=1 and RACHS=2 and under CPB
Exclusion criteria: lack of written parental consent to enter the study, presence of coagulation disorders before surgery, liver dysfunction with an increase in SGOT or SGPT more than 1.5 times the baseline level before surgery, presence of congenital kidney diseases, death Children during surgery, the need to perform complex surgery, children with RACHS score higher than 2, the occurrence of treatment-resistant fever after surgery, the occurrence of confirmed sepsis after surgery until the time of admission to the ICU, or the level of procalcitonin more than 0.5 ng/dC. L with symptoms of infection, CPB or transverse aortic clamp time more than 120 minutes
-
Intervention groups
-
In case group (A), the cardioplegia solution after suction is removed from the blood circulation circuit, and will be thrown away (waste).
In the control group (B), the cardioplegia solution will enter the extracorporeal circulation after suctioning at the end of the surgery and will enter the systemic circulation of children through CPB.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Changes in serum osmolarity are investigated by considering serum levels of sodium, glucose and blood urea nitrogen.
